[users] Announcing Gemini Discovery at gemini://discovery.geminiprotocol.com/

1. Nathan Galt (mailinglists (a) ngalt.com)

Gemini Discovery is now up and running. In a nutshell, it's a directory of 
search engines and directories. It's available at:

gemini://discovery.geminiprotocol.com/

It mostly serves two audiences:



If you'd like a page that links to most of the gemini-discovery services 
out there, check it out.

I'm not able to load the page on any clients (porcelain, lagrange,
tinmop & my secret little project) on OpenBSD.  All of them complains
about a failure during the handshake :/

No problem with Lagrange or Amfora here. gnutls-cli shows no TLS

not a tls experts, but I think my issues are caused by the ed25519 key.
I recall reading something that libressl don't support those keys yet
(please correct me if I'm wrong)

; nc -c -Tnoverify discovery.geminiprotocol.com 1965
nc: tls handshake failed (handshake failed: error:1404B410:SSL 
routines:ST_CONNECT:sslv3 alert handshake failure)

If so, this is certainly a serious problem with LibreSSL. RFC 8410,
which added these keys in certificates, is already 2.5 years old.

According to Lupa
<gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi>, 8 capsules
use this type of key. Can you connect to them:
